God of NBA point guards

Chapter 158
"We have one more."

Looking at the celebrating Pistons, the morale is improving at a visible speed. Jordan said to his teammates in a serious voice.

Twelve seconds later, he sprinted to the basket and was about to dunk when Rodman caught up from behind and pulled him out of the air.

"Without John Sely, the Pistons can only use fouls to interrupt Michael's attack to the basket." Ringo Wilson laughed.

After Jordan made two free throws, the Pistons attacked.

Zhou Quan still used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Jordan, and Jordan still double-teamed with John Paxson, so that Joe Dumars got an open position outside the three-point line again and received a pass from Zhou Quan.

"brush!"

This time, he lived up to Zhou Chuan's trust and rewarded his teammates with a hollow three-pointer.

15:18, the Bulls attack.

Jordan received the ball as soon as he crossed the center line, and the Pistons were chasing points. He must press it down again before the morale of the Pistons rises.

On the right-wing three-point line, he made a false shot in front of Zhou Quan, and broke through from the outside with the ball.

Zhou Quan's single-defense is as high as level 95. On the premise that his predictive ability has not been greatly improved, he has almost reached his current single-defense limit. After Jordan took a step into the three-point line, he posted it on the left side in time.

However, Jordan immediately stopped and forced a fadeaway jumper.

Zhou Quan reacted super fast and kept up with the rhythm, but he was still helpless in the face of the ultimate jumper's fadeaway jumper. The height difference was at least one foot, and he took off with all his strength. His body was almost on Jordan, and his hands still only reached the opponent's. elbow.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, and two points were hit from far.

"Haha, no matter how you defend, no matter how strong your defense is, you just can't defend!" Ringo Wilson roared excitedly.

Robert Guida shook his head and said: "Joe Dumars has been selected to the defensive first team in a row, but Michael Jordan can beat him almost every time.

In this world, no one can guard Jordan alone, no matter how strong his defense is. "

Looking back, Zhou Quan still used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Jordan.

But this time, Jordan slowed his breakthrough with the ball by half a beat through the preemptive delay, and then was dragged by Paxson for half a beat. As a result, Jordan was once again blocked in front, and the breakthrough after the pick-and-roll failed.

At this time, Paxson cut off the passing line between him and Joe Dumars, and he could only force a mid-range shot over Michael Jordan's head.

"Snapped!"

Jordan reacted very quickly, had more experience, and made accurate predictions, so he gave him a big cap.

Paxson grabbed the ball and passed it to Jordan who was following him. Joe Dumars chased him to the front.

"boom!"

As soon as the ball was scored, the entire United Center erupted.

Zhou Quan took the opportunity to overtake Joe Dumas, followed Jordan, and blocked his right side.

But Jordan dribbled the ball with his left hand, put his right elbow against Zhou Quan and forced his way into the paint area, then jumped up, picked the basket with one hand with his left hand, and while scoring the ball, caused Zhou Quan's thug foul.

Ringo Wilson said excitedly: "Beautiful! Michael blocked Iron Fist, and then scored a two-plus-one on Iron Fist. Now the morale of the Pistons has been frustrated again, and the Bulls' momentum is even higher."

"Boy, you really almost stopped me." Jordan's trash talk came again.

He doesn't have the strength to challenge Iron Fist off the court, but on the court, he can use his own strength, including trash talk, to humiliate the opponent to his heart's content, attack the opponent's psychology, and destroy the opponent's morale.

Zhou Quan smiled. If he is weak, he must be prepared to be beaten, but he still needs to respond to the trash talk. He elbowed Jordan who was standing beside him, and sprayed back: "Old boy, two to two, If you win the Eastern Conference finals, let’s show off.”

"Not only do I want to win the Eastern Conference Finals, but I also want to blow you up."

Jordan snorted coldly, dropped a sentence, turned and walked to the free throw line.

"You also said that you would sweep us away, but I haven't received your thanks until today. Have you forgotten that I saved you 50 dollars?" Zhou Quan shouted from behind.

"asshole!"

Michael Jordan was so angry that he wanted to jump, he didn't complete the sweep, and he was forced to make it [-]-[-], which was a disgrace to him.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing that Jordan closed his mouth, several people on the Pistons side laughed.

"Michael Jordan scored 5 points in a row, 15:23, 8 points away."

At Zhang Lili's home, he said thoughtfully: "Jordan is in very good form today, but Joe Dumars is in mediocre form, so it's hard to chase points!"

His wife said: "Is Zhou Quan not capable of chasing points? I think he played well in front of him. He played back and forth with Jordan and scored 6 points in a row."

"Him? His personal offensive ability and finishing ability have not yet reached the top level of the final decision. Facing Jordan's defense, he cannot guarantee the overall high efficiency. He can occasionally hit a few good shots and lacks persistence.

Sometimes you have to be lucky in attacking. When luck comes, no matter how you play, your opponent may make mistakes inexplicably. "

Zhang Lili shook his head, and said: "Phil Jackson called a timeout just now, that was a turning point, and then the Bulls started double-teaming Zhou Quan, and it was an outside double-team.

This is an obvious target. The Bulls have never double-teamed him on the outside. The Bulls want to choke his offense, his organization and passing. They would rather let Joe Dumars play than choke him.

This must be because Phil Jackson believed that Joe Dumars would not be in a good state today, so he dared to defend like this. Otherwise, Zhou Quan's pass was so good, he would not have dared.

With the Bulls' outside defense, it is destined that Zhou Quan's personal offense will be difficult to break out today, and even his organizational functions will be limited.Next, the score should slowly open. "

Zhang Lili is indeed rich in experience, and he predicted the progress of the next game.

Zhou Quan had to use the pick-and-roll to get rid of Jordan, which gave the Bulls the opportunity to easily double-team him on the outside. He was double-teamed repeatedly, and his personal offense was hindered. He could play one or two occasionally, but it couldn't solve the big problem.

Even if he wants to hit the basket with the ball, he doesn't have many opportunities. Jordan's confrontation ability is not weaker than him at all, and he has more experience than him.

I can't play by myself, so I can only split the ball. Of course, the goal of the first point is to play a pick-and-roll with him and get the open Joe Dumars.

As for the others, Ulrich was marked to death by Pippen on the weak side, and he didn't have any chance to run.

Rodman's height at the basket is too low, his offensive skills are not good, and he has few opportunities.

And Bedford's fringe people, even in the face of ordinary blue-collar center Carter White, are still at a disadvantage.

In this way, the offensive pressure of the Pistons was piled on Joe Dumars. Although he relied on the opportunity of the Bulls to double-team Zhou Quan to get open positions many times, they were all small open positions. After losing two goals, he could only rush in after getting the ball.

However, although Carterwhite and Grant's defense is not as good as that of John Sely and Rodman, they are not too bad. They dare to attack. He has repeatedly attacked the basket, but the success rate is not high. Got a few free throws.

After the first quarter, at 22:34, the Pistons had fallen behind by 12 points.

The score fell behind, and the Pistons did not dare to replace the main players. Both Zhou Quan and Joe Dumars played the first quarter.

周权前面拿下6分，后面拿到4分，单节7投3中，三分球1投中，3罚3中，拿到了10分2篮板3助攻2抢断3失误1犯规的数据。

乔杜马斯10投仅3中，三分球3投1中，4罚3中，拿到了10分1助攻1抢断1失误1犯规的数据。

The two basically scored in the first quarter, and Ulrich scored the remaining two points.

In the second quarter, Chuck Daly held down Zhou Quan and Joe Dumars, let them recover first, and sent the assassin and Mark Aguirre.

However, in order to defeat the Pistons as soon as possible, Jordan played at the beginning of the second quarter, which formed a continuous and huge blow to the Pistons.

With crazy shots, he beat the assassin and Mark Aguirre by himself.

Within 4 minutes, he stole the Assassin once, successfully defended Mark Aguirre once, played two defensive counterattacks, made 5 of 4 shots, 1 of 1 free throw, scored 9 points, and only allowed the Pistons to score 5 points. The difference widened to 16 points, and it took 4 minutes to blow up the Pistons.

Daly could only be replaced by the main lineup, but the Bulls also replaced Pippen, and Jordan did not end, and the main lineups of both sides were on the same page.

"Oh!"

After Pippen scored a goal, only half a minute later in the second quarter, Joe Dumars hit the basket with the ball again, collided with Grant, and when he fell to the ground, his waist twisted and he could not continue to fight, so he had to end the game.

He was in so much pain that he couldn't even stand up. The team doctor came up to check him. He had a strained lumbar muscle.

"Clap clap clap..."

When he was helped down, two thousand Pistons fans stood up and applauded him.

"Thank you, Joe, you will always be worthy of my respect." Zhou Quan said to Joe Dumas.

Joe Dumas, who supported his waist with one hand, nodded regretfully, waved to the fans, and said to Zhou Quan: "Iron Fist, my Eastern Conference Finals should be over, it's up to you, don't let me down."

The corners of Zhou Quan's eyes twitched, he nodded and said, "I won't give up. To give up is to accept failure. Even if I lose, I will never accept failure."

In the TNT commentary seat, Robert Guida said: "Joe Dumars played very hard today. He hit the basket when he couldn't make a shot from the outside, but his efficiency was mediocre. He has fallen several times before. This injury is actually expected. things."

"The Pistons can surrender."

Ringo Wilson smiled and said in a very positive tone.

At 27:45, the point difference reached 18 points at this time, and the Pistons attacked.

Chuck Daly called a timeout and sent the assassin. He said to the assassin and Zhou Quan: "Listen up, from now on, Isiah will control the ball."

Zhou Quan and the assassin were startled at the same time, but they didn't speak. They just looked at Chuck Daly to see what he had to say.

Chuck Daly said again: "Zhou, you play off the ball, pass through the penalty area, use the kind of trickery you are good at to get rid of Jordan, and then pull to the other wing or the top of the arc. Isiah, Zhou ran out of space After that, you pass the ball."

After explaining the tactics, he didn't say anything more, leaving time for the two to discuss how to fight.

"Iron Fist, I'll wait for you to run out of position at the top of the arc."

"OK, leave the defender immediately after you pass the ball and go where I can see you. If I don't have a chance, I will pass back to you immediately."

The timeout ends, the game restarts, and the Pistons attack.

Ringo Wilson said in a skeptical tone: "The assassin is on the court. Now he is at most [-]% to [-]% of his peak strength. Can he still play? Michael still defends against Iron Fist. Iron Fist plays off the ball. He has never played off the ball in the Pistons." Ball, okay?"

"The assassin is in control of the ball, and now BJ is defending him. Will he be the main attacker?" Robert Jeddah asked in an inquiring tone.

But then he answered a question from his partner, saying: "Iron Fist's off-ball ability should be good. When he chased Jordan, Jordan couldn't easily get rid of him, especially in the penalty area."

At this time, the assassin advanced to the front court, near the top of the arc.

At this time, Zhou Quan entered the penalty area from the left wing, and Rodman and backup center Brad Sellers covered him.

In addition to his two teammates in the restricted area, there are also the Bulls' backup center Wilperdo and backup power forward Stacey King. Now that he and Jordan enter, the entire restricted area will explode.

But this narrow and crowded area is his paradise. Continuous turning left and right, he drilled to the left wing, but Jordan was left inside.

The assassin passed the ball, and when Zhou Quan received the ball in the two-point position, Jordan had just got out of the paint and was two meters away from him.

Although it was only one step to reach his side, it was already too late.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and two points were hit.

This kind of offense happened continuously in the following time. Zhou Quan made 3 of 4 shots and scored 3 points in 6 minutes.

On the Bulls side, Jordan did not attack for the time being, and Pippen made all-out shots, scoring 3 points on 1 of 2 shots.

In this way, with more than three minutes left in the second quarter, at 33:47, the Pistons recovered 4 points, but they were still 14 points behind.

The Bulls called a timeout.

Robert Jeddah smiled triumphantly: "Linger, I'm not wrong, Iron Fist's off-ball ability is very strong. In four attacks, he got rid of Jordan through the penalty area, and Jordan only caught up with him once."

Ringo Wilson nodded and said: "His movement ability in the penalty area is indeed admirable and surprising. In fact, according to his body size, he does not have this ability. His shoulders are too wide, and the space is small and he is easily blocked."

Robert Guida said with a smile: "This is his talent. His ability to move in the penalty area is no worse than that of a small point guard like Flying Squirrel, which is amazing.

And Jordan is not good at defending such a small point guard. It is really difficult for him to keep up with the opponent when changing defenses.

To deal with Jordan, you only need to arrange a small point guard, and then switch positions through the pick-and-roll, and let the small man play Jordan. "

Ringo Wilson couldn't help complaining: "This is indeed possible, Michael really can't guard against this mouse-like point guard.

But Robert, don't forget that Michael can also switch positions through the pick-and-roll to blow up the little mouse on the offensive end. "

"Ha ha……"

Robert Guida laughed out loud and dropped the subject.

"Michael, go and deal with the assassins." Phil Jackson said to Jordan on the Bulls bench.

Jordan gritted his teeth, he was not reconciled, he was a super master at playing off the ball, but he couldn't deal with the boy Tekken's off-ball play.

Phil Jackson said: "Use your defense to lock his passing. Even BJ can't keep up with Zhou Quan. He ran out of space and he couldn't get the ball."

"OK."

Jordan nodded, agreeing.

Zhou Quan was a little surprised to see BJ following him.

He glanced at the assassin over there, can this veteran handle Jordan's defense?
The game continued. For the next time, Jordan defended with all his strength and handed over the offense to Pippen and others. He successfully locked the assassin by himself.

In terms of passing, he only locks the passing angles of the assassins and Zhou Quan, and he doesn't care about other directions.

At the same time, he also blocked the assassin's personal attack.

As a result, the Assassins couldn't pass the ball to Zhou Quan, and at the same time they couldn't play a personal offense. The Pistons were in trouble again in the last point of the second quarter, and they were defended for more than three minutes and only scored two points.

After the second quarter, 35:53, the Pistons trailed by 18 points.

"Batt!"

When the assassin, who showed nothing, left the field, his face was livid, depressed and angry, and he smashed the water glass handed over by his teammate to the floor.

"Shh!"

Bulls fans immediately booed loudly, further hitting the psychology of the Assassins and Pistons.

"Oh, the assassin lost his composure." Robert Guida exclaimed.

"After being swept last year, he led the team away without grace, and didn't even shake hands with Michael." A trace of disdain flashed in Ringo Wilson's eyes.

Robert Guida explained: "Indeed, as an opponent, it is court etiquette to congratulate the winner.

But the assassin's personality is too weird. He thinks that shaking hands with an opponent after losing is a kind of surrender. This may be a difference in life philosophy. "

Joe Dumars was injured, and the team fell behind by a large score. The Pistons returned to the locker room, and their morale had almost collapsed.

Even Rodman, who has always been the most active, became dull at this time and didn't say a word.

Among all the players, John Sely and Joe Dumars felt the most relaxed, because they were injured and couldn't play anymore. Their playoffs were over and there was no pressure on them. The injury was a relief for them.

Zhou Quan didn't want to say anything anymore. In this case, no amount of empty talk was useless. Only practical actions could boost morale.

Joe Dumars can't play, neither can the assassins, no one else can count on him, he can only do it himself, and if he can't play a morale-boosting offense in the second half, then this game will end in the third quarter .

With his current offensive ability, facing the Bulls' flanking and strangling from outside, the difficulty is hell-level, almost impossible.
